[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 618018, member: 5302"] Jinx, your barrel is "stabilized" the same for every shot. From clean to horribly fouled, it behaves the same as far as wiggling, whipping and vibrating is concerned. By stabilized, I think your are referring to the way it behaves for each shot. If not, please explain. Bullets are reshaped by fouling. Part of their jacket's removed and deposited in the micro pits in the metal surfaces of the lands and grooves. Powder residue also builds up. While some of both will adhere to subsequent bullets being fired, the overall effect is when part of a bullet jacket's removed, it's unbalanced and won't shoot perfect. Barrels that shoot more accurate after fouling do so because the rough surfaces have been filled in by jacket material and much less is scraped off bullets fired thereafter. [/QUOTE]
